Description
A satisfying dish featuring tender beef, crisp broccoli, and luscious noodles enveloped in a savory sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound beef flank steak, thinly sliced
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 8 ounces noodles (e.g., lo mein or spaghetti)
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cook the noodles: Start by boiling the noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain them and set aside.
- Mix the sauce: In a separate bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, cornstarch, garlic, and ginger until smooth.
- Heat the pan: In a large pan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Wait until it shimmers.
- Sear the beef: Add the beef strips to the hot oil, cooking them until they are nicely browned. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the broccoli: Toss in the broccoli florets and stir-fry everything together for about 3-4 minutes until the broccoli is tender but still vibrant.
- Thicken the sauce: Pour the sauce mixture over the beef and broccoli. Stir gently until the sauce thickens—this will happen quickly, so keep an eye on it.
- Combine with noodles: Add in the cooked noodles and drizzle with sesame oil, tossing everything until well combined.
- Finalize and serve: Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
Consider marinating the beef for extra flavor. Garnish with sesame seeds or sliced green onions for a pop of color.
